 ASSEMBLY NOTICE ! 

Sir Knights,

Please remember our Retreat scheduled for Saturday, January 28.  We will begin with the regular 9:00 AM Mass.
The Retreat will be led by our Faithful Friar, Fr. Seabo.  The topic for the retreat is “Charity”.  It will 
build on the themes of “Faith” and “Hope” of the last two years, but attendance at those retreats is not 
necessary to get the benefit of this year’s retreat.

We will conclude with a light lunch served about Noon.  The Assembly is sponsoring the retreat and there is 
no charge for attending.  The Retreat is open to all Knights in the area.
Please publicize at your Council meetings and invite your Brother Knights.

Please have reservations to Tom Greenlee at 254-8790 or e-mail to trgkaj@charter.net by Wednesday, January 25.

I hope to see you there.

Tom Greenlee





 

My Brothers;

that wish to make their 4thDegree in April, I suggest that they get their Form-4's in, to assure that their name is one of the 50

Along with the form-4  :  Check for $70.00 made out to Assembly #3001 plus $12.00 for wife if she intends to have lunch
